Australians reshuffle pack for Test

Rugby Union

Greg Smith, the Australia coach, told his players to show more aggression after making six changes for the one-off Test against England on Saturday.

Smith, "disgusted" by his side's performance in their 30-13 defeat by New Zealand in Christchurch last Saturday, criticised the forwards, with the front row bearing the brunt of his anger.

Smith said: "I don't believe we did justice to ourselves. I wanted them to know that we [the Australian selectors] were disgusted with what happened."

The uncapped prop Cameron Blades, hooker Michael Foley and lock Garrick Morgan have been drafted into the side to add scrummaging power for the match at the Sydney Football Stadium. The full-back Matthew Burke and centre Jason Little return from injury at the expense of Stephen Larkham and Daniel Herbert.

AUSTRALIA (v England, Sydney, Saturday): M Burke; J Roff, J Little, J Holbeck, B Tune; T Horan, G Gregan; T Coker, D Manu, B Robinson, D Wilson; J Eales (capt), G Morgan; C Blades, M Foley, E McKenzie (one from Coker, Manu, Robinson or Wilson to be omitted). Replacements: M Caputo, M Brial, M Cockbain, S Payne, D Herbert, S Larkham, A Blades, M Hardy, E Flatley.
